1 The Practice of Dental Technology and Clinical Dental Technology and the working relationship within the Practice of Dentistry Practice Standard July 2012

2 Preamble Section 118 of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 requires the Dental Council to set the standards of clinical competence, cultural competence and ethical conduct to be observed by the oral health practitioners it regulates. These standards are set out in Dental Council practice standards, which are developed by, or in consultation with, the professions. Introduction The Dental Council defines the practice of dentistry as the maintenance of health through the assessment, diagnosis, management, treatment and prevention of any disease, disorder or condition of the orofacial complex and associated structures. Dental technology and clinical dental technology practice are subsets of the practice of dentistry. The scopes of dental technology and clinical dental technology practice are described by the Dental Council pursuant to section 11 of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act (2003) and are included in this practice standard in Appendix 1. Within these scopes a technician s practice must be commensurate with his or her approved education, training and competence. Technicians may only extend their practice to those areas defined in additional scopes of practice if they are registered and competent to do so. This practice standard aims to protect the health and safety of members of the public by: describing what dental technicians and clinical dental technicians can do; providing guidance to dentists, dental specialists, dental technicians and clinical dental technicians on their legislative and professional responsibilities when sourcing or providing dental technology and clinical dental technology services; and assisting consumers to understand the professional relationships which apply between technicians and dentists when providing services which involve designing, making, repairing or fitting dental appliances. The Practice of Dental Technology Dental technicians design, construct and repair fixed and removable oral and extra-oral appliances and prostheses e.g. dentures, crowns, bridges, and implant supported prostheses to the prescription of another registered health practitioner e.g. dentist, dental specialist, clinical dental technician or medical practitioner who is authorised by their scope of practice to perform the fitting of the appliance or prosthesis. In this context prescription is defined as an instruction, either written or verbal by an appropriately registered practitioner to a dental technician to carry out a procedure contained in their registered scope of practice. This authorisation should be included, or noted, in the patient s record. Persons undertaking dental technology work, as described in the gazetted scope of dental technology practice, must be registered and hold a current annual practising certificate. Dental technicians do not work directly on a patient, however they may: undertake non-clinical tasks; such as shade taking and shade checking which may include the removal of a pre-loosened temporary restoration and try-in of a permanent restoration, without removal or placement of an abutment, under the prescription and clear written procedures of, and final fitting1 by, a dentist or dental specialist. In this circumstance the Dental Technician must ensure the patient returns to the prescribing dentist/dental specialist, as soon as possible on the same day, for the dentist/dental specialist to recement the restoration. 1 Final fitting for dental technicians means ensuring the patient returns to the prescribing dentist /dental specialist as soon as possible on the same day for the refitting of the temporary or permanent restoration. 2

3 undertake simple repairs 2 of dentures and in such cases must refer the patient to a suitable clinician and ensure a record of this referral is included in the patient record. To gain registration as a dental technician applicants must have undertaken an accredited three-year full time degree in dental technology from the University of Otago (or equivalent). This training covers the study of biological systems of the human body, the physical and biological properties of the materials used in dental technology and the design and manufacture of dental appliances and prostheses. Dental technicians upon registration are therefore competent to ensure that the appliances they construct do not cause harm to patients, which can occur with the inappropriate selection or incorrect use of materials. Registered dental technicians are required to maintain and develop their skills and competence through regular and documented continuing professional development. Members of the public can have confidence in the dental technology services provided through their dentist, or other health practitioner, if the dental technician providing the services is registered with the Dental Council and holds a current annual practising certificate (APC). A Dental Technician wishing to have direct contact with patients must ensure that all facilities procedures and practices comply with all Dental Council practice standard relevant to patient management (e.g. Cross infection, informed consent, record keeping and TMVI). Working relationship with Dental Technicians Health practitioners sourcing dental technology services have a responsibility to ensure that such services are provided by appropriately qualified and skilled persons. As such, dentists, dental specialists, clinical dental technicians and other health practitioners using such services must assess and have confidence in the skills and competence of dental technicians or other personnel undertaking their dental laboratory work. A verifiable measure of a dental technician s qualification, skill, and competence is whether he or she is registered with the Dental Council and holds a current annual practising certificate. Dentists, dental specialists and clinical dental technicians should ensure this when obtaining dental technical services. The health practitioner should ensure that all products purchased and supplied by the laboratory are of an acceptable quality or standard and that a custom made appliance supplied to the health practitioner/patient can be traced in the event of a product recall or an adverse reaction or allergy complaint. Health practitioners sourcing dental technology services have a responsibility to ensure their availability to provide timely professional advice, as required, to the dental technician undertaking their dental technology work. In addition the dentist/dental specialist referring patients for shade taking and shade checking must be available during the procedure, in case of an emergency, and as soon as possible on the same day to recement the restoration. Dental technicians have a duty of care to recognise the need to seek professional advice from/to the prescribing practitioner when required and to seek such advice in a timely manner. The Practice of Clinical Dental Technology Clinical dental technicians design, construct and repair fixed and removable oral and extraoral appliances and prostheses in the same way as dental technicians. Clinical dental technicians can also work as independent practitioners and deal directly with the public in making and fitting: complete removable dentures some other types of removable dentures and oral and extra oral appliances under specific conditions as set out below. Similar to dental technicians, a prescription is defined as an instruction, either written or verbal by an appropriately registered practitioner to a clinical dental technician to carry out a procedure contained in their registered scope of practice. This authorisation should be included, or noted, in the patient s record. 2 i.e. not involving impressions or relines. 3

4 Dentists, dental specialists and clinical dental technicians must ensure that patients are informed of all treatment options available. Persons undertaking clinical dental technology work as described in the gazetted scope of clinical dental technology practice must be registered and hold a current annual practising certificate (APC). To be registered as a clinical dental technician applicants are required to be registered as a dental technician and to have completed an accredited one-year full time or two-year part time Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Dental Technology from the University of Otago (or equivalent). 1.1 Removable complete dentures Clinical dental technicians may design, construct, repair, reline and fit complete dentures when there are no natural teeth remaining and there is no diseased or unhealed, hard or soft tissue. Clinical dental technicians must in the case of patients with diseased or persistently unhealed hard or soft tissue, or any other conditions outside their Scope of Practice assess and refer patients to a dentist, dental specialist or medical practitioner in a timely manner. 1.2 Removable partial dentures Clinical dental technicians may design, construct, repair, reline and fit partial dentures, but only after a patient has obtained an oral health certificate from a dentist or dental specialist. A template oral health certificate is attached as Appendix 2. In providing an oral health certificate dentists and dental specialists must ensure that there is no diseased or unhealed hard or soft tissues, or any other abnormalities contraindicating the provision of a partial denture. Clinical dental technicians must not prepare the teeth and/or soft tissues for a partial denture; only a dentist or dental specialist may undertake such work. If during the course of partial denture construction any condition outside the Scope of Practice of a clinical dental technician becomes evident the patient must be referred to a dentist or dental specialist in a timely manner. 1.3 Removable complete and partial immediate dentures Clinical dental technicians may design, construct, repair and supply immediate dentures only on the prescription of a registered dentist or dental specialist. Clinical dental technicians may take impressions and undertake other non-invasive procedures involved in the construction of an immediate denture, however only a dentist or dental specialist can fit an immediate denture. The dentist or dental specialist remains responsible for the clinical care outcomes of the patient. 1.4 Removable complete and partial root/tooth overdentures Clinical dental technicians may design, construct, reline and repair root/tooth overdentures only on the prescription of a registered dentist or dental specialist. Clinical dental technicians may take impressions and undertake other non-invasive procedures involved in the construction of a root/tooth supported overdenture, however only a dentist or dental specialist can perform the final fit3 of a root/tooth supported overdenture. The dentist or dental specialist remains responsible for the clinical care outcomes of the patient. 3 Final fitting for clinical dental technicians means ensuring the patient is referred back to the prescribing dentist/dental specialist for the subsequent management and ongoing monitoring of that patient s oral health. 4

5 Clinical dental technicians must not prepare the teeth and/or soft tissues for a complete or partial overdenture. Only a dentist or dental specialist may undertake such work. 1.5 Extra oral maxillofacial prostheses Clinical dental technicians may design, construct, fit and repair extra-oral maxillofacial prostheses only on the prescription of a registered dentist, dental specialist or medical practitioner. Clinical dental technicians may take impressions of extra-oral maxillofacial defects that are not in direct communication with the naso- or the orophayngeal airway and undertake other non-invasive procedures involved in the construction and fitting of extra-oral maxillofacial prostheses, however the dentist, dental specialist or medical practitioner remains responsible for the clinical outcomes of the patient. The only exception to the restriction on taking impressions of defects that are in direct communication with the naso- or the orpharyngeal airway is in circumstances where the clinical dental technician is doing so under the direct supervision of a dentist, medical practitioner or another health practitioner qualified to manage an airway emergency. In addition clinical dental technicians whose formal training did not include extra-oral maxillofacial prostheses should undertake clinical procedures in this area only if they can demonstrate, if required, that they have the requisite knowledge and training to undertake this work in accordance with the Council s Policy on Advanced and New Areas of Practice. 1.6 Removable complete and partial overdentures on oral implants (general scope) Clinical dental technicians, who are not registered in the additional scope of Implant Overdentures, may design, construct, trial fit, reline and repair removable complete and partial implant overdentures on oral implants only on the prescription of a registered dentist or dental specialist. This does not include removal or placement of abutments such as healing, temporary or permanent, or fixture level/subgingival impression copings. Clinical dental technicians may take impressions and undertake other non-invasive procedures involved in the construction and trial fitting of an implant overdenture. The dentist or dental specialist must undertake the final fitting 3 and remains responsible for the clinical outcomes of the patient. 1.7 Removable complete and partial overdentures on oral implants (additional scope of practice) Clinical dental technicians, registered in this additional scope of practice, may design, construct, trial fit, reline and repair removable complete and partial implant overdentures on oral implants only on the prescription of a registered dentist or dental specialist. Clinical dental technicians may take impressions and undertake other non-invasive procedures involved in the construction and trial fitting of an implant overdenture, however the dentist or dental specialist must undertake the final fitting3 and remains responsible for the clinical outcomes of the patient. A clinical dental technician may only carry out the clinical procedures associated with implant overdentures if they are registered in this additional Scope of Practice. As such, dentists and dental specialists prescribing such treatment must ensure the clinical dental technician is registered in this additional scope before delegating the clinical tasks. 1.8 Dental appliance therapy for the treatment of sleep disorders Dental technicians and clinical dental technicians may design, construct, repair and supply appliances for the treatment of sleep disorders but only on the prescription of a registered dentist, dental specialist or medical practitioner. Clinical dental technicians may take impressions and undertake other non invasive procedures involved in the construction of sleep disorder appliances however only a dentist, 5

6 dental specialist or medical practitioner, who retains responsibility for the clinical care outcomes, can perform the final fit of the appliance. Working relationship with Clinical Dental Technicians Health practitioners sourcing clinical dental technology services have a responsibility to ensure that such services are provided by appropriately qualified, skilled and registered persons who hold a current practising certificate. As such, dentists, dental specialists, and other health practitioners must assess and have confidence in the skills and competence of clinical dental technicians and be familiar with the Scope of Practice for clinical dental technicians. Health practitioners sourcing clinical dental technology services have a responsibility to ensure their availability to provide timely professional advice, as required, to the clinical dental technician undertaking their clinical dental technology work. Clinical dental technicians have a duty of care to recognise the need to seek and provide professional advice from/to the prescribing practitioner when required and to do this in a timely manner. Before taking any impression or fitting any denture or appliance, clinical dental technicians have a responsibility to ensure that the patient s mouth is fit for the purpose, and free of disease, disorder or abnormality. Apart from the use of tissue conditioners and soft lining materials, a clinical dental technician may not adjust, modify or treat the natural dentition, bone, soft tissue or dental restorations. Both the prescribing health practitioner and clinical dental technician have a responsibility to ensure that a patient is informed of all treatment options available. 6
